Did a port check on the port WiFi File Transfer uses (2121). Before enabling the app, port 2121 not open, enable the app, 2121 is open. Disable in the app, 2121 closes. Pretty simple. Don't leave it on at your local coffee shop but otherwise this article is a bit unclear and creates unnecessary FUD imo.
I use an app called WiFi File Transfer:

Basically allows wireless FTP transfers to/from your phone to a PC on the same WiFi network. Run it on your phone, open a Windows explorer window to the FTP address shown in the app, browse your phone folder and drag/drop files. Nice and easy, nothing to install on the PC or configure. Only catch is the phone and PC must be on the same WiFi.

I had this too, ended up downloading a app that created an ftp server on my phone then all I had to do was type the address into my windows explorer window. This was the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mbapp.ftpserver

How much quicker does it charge over USB? I only briefly used USB charging when I first got the phone but I have been using wireless charging ever since mainly for convenience. I don't recall there being much of a difference in charge speeds if I charged over 12W USB or 12W wirelessly.
Side note, I use WiFi File Transfer to transfer files without plugging my phone in.
You can use something like WiFi File Transfer. Get any app from playstore, set it up with mouse and connect with your pc with given local ip address.
Personally I use this app to transfer my stuff to PC without USB cable. Its not that fast, but it works.
I use "Wifi File Transfer" since I can't be bothered to look for the cable all the time
I have a similar problem so I started using this WiFi File Transfer app. Fast and cordless.
